2006 Plumpjack Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
11/23/2018 - NineteenEightyTwo Likes this wine: 90 Points
Opaque rosewood color. Nose of plum skin, polished black shoe leather, embers, a recently-weeded garden bed, and the aroma of a freshly-opened cardboard box. There's a rounded mouthfeel with flavors of blackberry scone. This finishes with moderately grainy tannins. Pleasant drinking, but not knock-your-socks-off, which you'd expect at this price. Perhaps a symptom of a lesser vintage? Drink now, and for the next 5 years.

2011 Millton Chenin Blanc Te Arai Vineyard
11/11/2018 - NineteenEightyTwo wrote: 87 Points
Medium-maize color. Rich and buttery nose to start, accented by minerality before more warming oak aromas kick back in. On the palate, some restrained salty and stony flavors, with cinnamon and a bit of earthiness. This finishes with ample acidity, which again serves to balance the oaky richness. A bit less austere than I typically like my Chenin Blanc, I'd prefer this under $20 as opposed to the $25+ it commands at my local.

2008 Clos Mogador Priorat

Opaque rosewood color. Nose of brambles, warm roast beef, and clove cigarette smoke. Luscious palate with plump black fruit. A slightly tannic graininess is all that remains of the structure. A more ample vintage, less classically styled. Enjoyable now, and for the next 3 years.
